Abstract
THE September issue of Antiquity contains a note by Prof. V. G. Childe on some finds of rock carvings in Scotland. Two of these are in Argyll and one in Midlothian. The first photograph shows a hind engraved in outline from Gleann Domhain, Argyll. The figure is in profile, two long ears appearing side by side and only two legs. There is a blunt and intriguing tail and an eye is shown. The style of this engraving reminds one forcibly of the Arctic culture rock drawings of Norway and Sweden (Scandinavian Art Group I). Prof. Childe's second photograph is of a fish which has been found near Roslin, Midlothian. This carving is not merely an outline but rather appears to be done in low relief and it, too, might have links with Scandinavia. Not so the third find, of a stylized, rather shapeless, animal figure from Dunadd, Argyll, which is very different in style from either of the other two and might easily belong to a different and later culture group.
